"He was martyred, this is his way, now, it's time for us to go our own!"
Zhesheng nodded vigorously, and when he heard my words, the students finally found their rationality and slowly stood up one by one. The painful expression on their faces showed strength, and they all followed. The people who were responding outside immediately came to the horses.
Zhesheng helped me and said, "Senior sister, get on the horse!"
I looked up at the sky. It was still some time before the first moment of Chen Shi that I had agreed with Chabixing before.
Although he was determined to leave, he was still worried at this time: "Chabixing him-"
Zhesheng was obviously a little worried, but he said, "Senior Brother said that if we don't wait for them, we will leave first and he will follow."
“…”
"Senior sister, those people will immediately chase after Jixian Palace, and the defenders will soon gather here!"
I gritted my teeth and got on the horse without saying a word: "Go!"
Our group got on the horse. Because the people who came to pick me up did not dare to be too arrogant, the number of horses prepared was not enough. Most of them rode the same horse. In addition, I was already weak, so Zhesheng sat behind me to protect me, and the group rushed away.
Behind us, the alarm bells sounded.
I kept gritting my teeth and rushing out of the palace. I could only hear the sound of horse hooves in my ears, and patrols kept rushing out to stop us. Zhesheng commanded the students and those who came to pick us up to knock them back one by one. After a while, we went on the right path. When Zhesheng and his friends were about to turn their horses, I gasped and whispered, "Go to the south."
Zhesheng looked down at me: "Ah? But we were going west-"
"I know, don't worry about it first and go to the south gate!"
“…”
Zhesheng glanced at me, gritted his teeth, turned around and said to everyone, "Let's go to the south gate!"
Those people hurriedly followed him and rode their horses.
As we headed south, there were almost no people on the road, and there were even few patrol teams coming to block it. We quickly broke through several levels, but there were warning gongs and drums coming out of the city gate ahead, and the nine gates heard one after another.
Zhesheng's breath became heavier: "Senior sister, they have begun to gather towards the south gate!"
The people around him rode their horses and became nervous, saying, "How could they gather so quickly?"
"Can we rush out like this?"
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a loud noise came from behind. When someone looked back, he was shocked: "They are catching up with me!"
"what to do?!"
At the south gate in front of the city, the guards of the imperial city heard the warning bell and began to gather there. Behind us, in the palace, the emperor's trusted guards also followed him. Now there are no way out and there are pursuers behind him, almost without a way to heaven and no way to the ground.
A breath of despair echoed in our hearts.
But as the South City Gate in front of us had already appeared in front of us, there was indeed a team of hundreds or thousands of people gathering there, blocking the entire gate. Some people were even rushing towards us, and the pursuers behind us were already close at hand, and some were even on the way with the last few students in our team!
Just then, I suddenly shouted: "Go west!"
Zhesheng didn't say anything, his eyes were red, and when he heard my voice, he immediately turned his head with his reins and turned his horse's head: "Go!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded, and they all turned their horses and galloped towards the west.
And the soldiers and horses behind us who came to intercept and chase us rushed together and suddenly fell over.
Some people looked back and couldn't help but gasp.
Even Zhesheng, who had been silent, only started to breathe when I heard him.
Actually, I was a little scared just now. In the mourning hall of Old Mrs. Zhang, Song Xuan and the others were going to send spirits out of the South City Gate at noon today. Pei Yuanxiu agreed. I expected that he would draw guards from other places to the South City Gate and nearby. Although he did not have any doubts about Song Xuan and the others' behavior, normally, on the day he ascended the throne, a city gate would have to be opened, and a general who helped him conquer the world would have to send spirits out. No matter which one of the superiors would not be completely unsuspecting, so I guess that the guards in this place should be the strongest.
Moreover, the people guarding the Nine Gate must have made arrangements in advance. If something happens to the South City Gate, the bell will be ringing immediately to warn you, and more people will definitely come to reinforce.
So relatively speaking, the guards in other places will be reduced a little.
The purpose of Song Xuan doing this was of course to have contacted Jixian Palace and those who came to pick us up outside, and wanted to create a chance for me to leave the city, but of course we could not go out directly from the South City Gate. No matter what, even if Old Lady Zhang had passed away, I still didn't want to implicate Song Xuan himself.
The wind whistled, blowing my hair in chaos in front of me. I saw that there were not many people on the road, and at this time, they all retreated in horror. Seeing an intersection ahead, another team of guards set up wooden fences to stop our horse team, everyone began to prepare for the battle.
Just when we were about to rush over, suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out from both sides of the intersection, and suddenly stormed the guards there. Taking advantage of their chaos, Zhesheng waved his whip and said, "Go!"
With a long neigh, the horse under his seat soared into the air and crossed the high wooden fence.
Everyone around also flew over. Tsawa continued to rush forward while riding his horse and turning back: "Come on!"
The people killed and retreated, and they all followed one after another.
It turned out that they had already prepared in the imperial city, and had set up people to pick up the checkpoints along the way, so that the obstacles we would rush out could be greatly reduced.
I ran all the way and received help from almost every checkpoint. However, several times, we met the main force of the guards in the city. The two sides fought in a melee. I watched several students get killed by them. In the melee, the people chasing us regrouped again.
Zhesheng shouted loudly: "Don't be in love with the battle, go quickly!"
Everyone fought hard and finally broke out of the battle circle. This time, he didn't look back and had no room to look back. He was all waving his horse and whip to speed up like crazy. I only listened to the suppressed and heavy breathing of everyone in the wind, and the tiger-like sounds made when the horse whip was waving. All of this was like a crazy game. I just felt that the blood in my body was rushing, and slowly I could not even hear other sounds. There was only the continuous surging blood in my ears, and my own heartbeat, like a drum beat on the battlefield.
Finally, we rushed to the west gate in the city.
The guards in this place are indeed much less than those in the South City Gate, but the small amount does not mean there is no one. Moreover, they have heard the warning bells from all over the Nine Gate, and all have begun to prepare for the war. All the guards have been lined up in an orderly manner, with swords unsheathed, and emit a sharp cold light in the morning light.
Zhesheng and the others were already injured. At this time, they were in a mess and were all exhausted.
When he saw this situation, Zhesheng lowered his voice and said, "We can only force ourselves to break through!"
After saying that, he stuffed the reins into my hand: "Senior sister, it's up to you to rush out, I will protect you!"
I took the reins and felt that I had no strength. I immediately gritted my teeth and clenched them tightly. The rough thorn on the reins immediately pierced into my palm. The fine pain also made me feel a little more awake. I nodded and said "um" and heard a brushing sound behind me. Zhesheng raised his longbow and pulled out the long knife at his waist.
There was someone behind the team shouting: "Hurry up, the people from the Six Army of the Forbidden City are about to catch up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tshesheng had already waved his long sword: "Let's rush!"
Suddenly, everyone ran out.
I held the reins tightly in my hand, and saw the soldiers in the front row of soldiers facing us with spears in their hands, and Zhesheng kept roaring, not caring about the horses running and were about to pounce on them. I pulled the reins violently, and the horse immediately rushed to the left side. The spear brushed our shoulders and stabbed them. Zhesheng dropped it with a fierce knife, cutting off the spear, and with the other hand, he grabbed the spear, threw his backhand, and stabbed the shoulder of a soldier flying towards him in front.
Suddenly, blood sprayed out, spraying all of us.
Seeing us cooperating with each other, I felt happy and felt that there was hope for rushing out. But before I could say anything happily, I heard Zhesheng behind me groan.
Looking back, another soldier holding a spear had already stabbed the spear into his back from behind!
Although our horses galloped, the spear did not pierce his body, but the sharp weapon pierced into his back, which made him twitch for a while.
I shouted: "Zhesheng!"
"Sister, don't be afraid!"
He gritted his teeth, blood in his teeth: "There are people outside to answer, we must rush over and open the city gate!"
I also gritted my teeth, turned my head and continued to tighten the reins, and controlled the horses to shuttle left and right in the crowd. After killing another guard, Zhesheng snatched the steel knife in his hand and waved it left and right, forming a sharp sword and sword shadow around me. I could hardly see anything, and I could only hear people screaming, but in the end, the one who fell down was the guard, the student of Jixian Palace, or the person who came to pick us up, I knew nothing!
